ONE of the stars of Duelling Pianos is challenging the Surf Coast community to try their hardest at “stumping them” with special song requests at their upcoming Torquay show.<\/p>\n
Joss Russell and friend Dani Fry will be taking to the stage at Torquay Bowls Club on 9 July for a night of unforgettable tunes and good vibes.<\/p>\n
The duo will be taking requests all night from the audience, with the whackier song the better.<\/p>\n
Russell has been running Duelling Pianos for eleven years across regional Victoria, but says Torquay remains atop the list of his favourite destinations.<\/p>\n
“We are so excited to get down there. The people down there like to party, have a great time and get involved,” he said.<\/p>\n
“The audience will have complete control of what we are doing out there, which keeps it exciting.<\/p>\n
“The venue at the Bowls Club looks incredible, and we are so thrilled to be a part of the movement of rolling out more top entertainment there.”<\/p>\n
Across the journey, Russell and his co-stars have been given some crazy from the crowd, however he is still searching for weirder material to play.<\/p>\n
“Horses by Darryl Braithwaite, Piano Man by Elton John and Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond are common requests, but we’ve had Franz Ferdinand, Nicki Minaj, Chappelle Roan and more.<\/p>\n
“I’m drawn to the weirdest requests. Sometimes, it can be more than 200 requests if we’ve got a bit crowd in the venue.<\/p>\n
“Bust a Move by Young MC was a recent interesting one that we haven’t had for a long time. We just love being put on the spot and having to find out how to play it straight away.<\/p>\n
“We encourage everyone to throw us off, challenge us with your requests, and let’s have some fun and get excited.”<\/p>\n
